Chapter 1145: Worldliness And Array

n.o.body knew exactly how powerful Progenitor Chen had been as an Enlighter. However, at this moment, everyone was able to witness it for themselves, and the person sitting in the front-row seat was Silver.

After Beast underwent his third transformation and absorbed Silver’s death energy, it had been able to completely suppress Yuhua Mavis and the others. However, it had been cut open and wounded by the first will blade from Progenitor Chen’s figure. Just one person, Progenitor Chen, was sufficient to stand against a full-powered Beast.

Silver had never antic.i.p.ated the true power of the Tri-Yang Technique being this terrifying, and it was no wonder why this technique was hailed as the most miraculous in the universe. Let alone beating Silver, once Shang Qing revealed the true power of the Tri-Yang Technique, his technique was no different than summoning three Progenitors who possessed the same cultivation as him. In fact, just one of these figures would be enough to sweep the entire Mountain and Seas Zone.

This was the true power of the universe’s most miraculous technique.

Everyone stared at Shang Qing in shock; so this was why he had maintained such a high profile within this place. He could truly be fearless in this area, as even if everyone partic.i.p.ating in this contest joined together to attack him, he would still be able to win with this level of power.

Inside the s.p.a.ce within the giant eyes, the Ghost Monkey sneakily glanced outside the s.p.a.ce and stuck out his tongue. “Seventh Bro! Oh, Seventh Bro, you have no idea what sort of opponent you’ve been facing all along! He’s a monster! Just too monstrous! Who can beat that?”

Gu Xiao’er swallowed his saliva. “Father can’t blame me. He can only blame the universe for being too absurd.”

On the other side, Xie Xiaoxian rolled her eyes. “Fight that? Forget it! The fight would only last for a second.”

Ever since Lu Yin had fought at the border warfront at the edge that was next to Erudite Flowzone, the Ghost Monkey had been with him. Thus, he had witnessed all of the miracles that Lu Yin had accomplished. The monkey held more confidence in Lu Yin than anyone else, and he believed that Lu Yin was truly an unrivaled genius. However, that was under the condition that he had enough time to mature. But at this moment, the monkey lost all confidence, as the miraculousness of the Tri-Yang Technique would leave anyone speechless. It was no wonder why people dared to claim that it was able to rival the Nine Clones Secret Technique.

In the past, the monkey had felt contempt for such a claim, as what could possibly rival the Nine Clones Secret Technique? But now, the monkey felt certain that the Tri-Yang Technique was truly capable of such a thing.

The Tri-Yang Technique consisted of three qi strands, and since two of them had already taken the form of Progenitor Chen’s clones, then what about the last one? Who would this one transform into?

This thought turned the Ghost Monkey’s scalp numb. Throughout the long river of time, not many Progenitors had risen, but there had been multiple Progenitors that history had not dared to record down. Since Shang Qing had chosen to produce clones of Progenitor Chen, then the final qi strand might take the form of Progenitor Chen or some other monstrous Progenitor; could it perhaps be Progenitor Wushang?!

Some distance away, Lu Yin awoke and stared at the s.p.a.ce around him that had been formed from star energy. Then, he began to roll his die without any hesitation.

Six pips: Possession. That was useless, as he did not have even a single star crystal on himself right now. So, there was nothing to spend to enter that mysterious s.p.a.ce.

Star energy gathered around Lu Yin to form a crystal that restored the die. Again.

This time, it was three pips: Enhance. As soon as it appeared, Lu Yin waved a hand to dispel the two screens. Again.

Finally, he managed to roll four pips: Timestop. The scenery immediately changed before his eyes as he reappeared within the Timestop s.p.a.ce.

The reason why Lu Yin had chosen to enter the Timestop s.p.a.ce at this time was because he clearly did not have enough time in the outside world.

Although he had not seen the battle taking place outside the golden screens, he had heard the Ghost Monkey and Xie Xiaoxian’s commentary. Thus, he was aware that a truly extraordinary battle technique had appeared on the battlefield.

The specific battle technique that had appeared was none of Lu Yin’s business or concern; at this moment, the only thing on his mind was how he could improve his star energy control more. Therefore, he wanted to memorize everything that he had seen within the s.p.a.ce inside the giant eyes.

When his thoughts reached this point, Lu Yin converged more than 10,000 star essences from within his body to increase his time within the Timestop s.p.a.ce, sat down, and then began to silently meditate.

A month pa.s.sed in this manner.

When Lu Yin opened his eyes and raised a hand, he could see that his star energy seemed to take on the form of various shapes. However, it had not changed much when compared to before, so he continued to study.

Two months pa.s.sed before he raised a hand and saw that his star energy seemed to have changed a bit more. Lu Yin’s eyes grew bright. He had to continue.

…

After another four months, he raised his hand. This time, the feeling of his star energy was qualitatively different.

Before, he had merely seen star energy when he looked at it. But at this moment, when he observed his own star energy, he was able to detect a microscopic layer.

Someone had once said that the limit of the microscopic was the macroscopic.

Star energy was subtle, and commoners could not observe it with the naked eye. Thus, it belonged to the microscopic realm. But at this moment, Lu Yin was able to see the star energy more clearly than ever, and he felt like he could see the microscopic realm of star energy. This was the Worldliness realm of star energy control.

Lu Yin’s eyes lit up. This time, when he raised his hand, his star energy took the form of a gaseous state before simulating s.p.a.ce. After that, it shrank and condensed upon itself further and further until it finally exploded, erupting like the Big Bang. Lu Yin’s star energy control had undergone a fundamental evolution.

Though, he had no idea how much this improved star energy control would raise his combat prowess.

That’s right. He seemed to think of something, and stars spun around his body. Lu Yin activated the Cosmic Art, and 520 stars instantly appeared around his body as he closed his eyes.

Some days later, his eyes opened again. When he first closed his eyes, there had been 520 stars around him, but this number had gradually increased as he meditated, becoming 600, 630, 680, 700, 720, and finally, 726. This was the limit of Cosmic Art’s third layer.

Lu Yin stood up and looked around himself in amazement. He was simulating a total of 726 stars, which marked the completion of the Cosmic Art’s third layer.

He had not expected improving his star energy control to lead to such a benefit.

The star energy around Lu Yin’s body suddenly converged, and it formed a piece of star essence that once again extended his time within the Timestop s.p.a.ce. Now that his star energy control had reached the Worldliness realm, the next step was to comprehend a sourcebox array.

Although Lu Yin had never unlocked an advanced sourcebox, his current abilities were already enough for him to become an Advanced Lockbreaker. Thus, he was definitely capable of comprehending a sourcebox array.

He only had plans to learn one sourcebox array, which was the Teleportation Formation that he had taken from Shang Ju’s office on the Cosmic Sect’s Crimson Star.

This particular sourcebox array was too well known, so even if Lu Yin managed to comprehend it, he would not be able to use it openly—otherwise, he might be discovered by the Cosmic Sect. Still, it was something that he could use to save himself at a critical juncture.

With that thought, Lu Yin had only recently legitimized his use of the Cosmic Art before obtaining an illegal copy of the Teleportation Formation.

And that wasn’t even mentioning how he had Pilfered the blood-red bell. He had not resolved that crisis yet either.

Lu Yin pursed his lips and decided to forget about it for the moment. He would try to understand what he had, which was better than not having anything.

He remembered the sourcebox array that he had seen before, and he closed his eyes to study the memory.

Sourcebox arrays were very complicated, and they were naturally arranged with sourceboxes. However, each sourcebox had a unique and different type of danger zone, and these auras would have to be combined to form the core of a sourcebox array.

From Lu Yin’s perspective, a sourcebox array was basically a static formula that was able to produce a mysterious power. As long as the formula was precisely followed, a predetermined result could be obtained. This was similar to using star energy.

Wen Sansi had been thrown off of the golden screens by a sourcebox array that Qiu s.h.i.+ had formed from star energy.

However, it was easy to reach that stage of mastery.

After all, the first step was simply to comprehend a sourcebox array.

If one did not reach the advanced level, then they would be unable to comprehend a sourcebox array. That meant that they could not even understand a sourcebox’s danger zone let alone manipulate it. Furthermore, this was only the first step. There were some Lockbreakers who could rely on their powerful cultivation to forcefully follow the formula of a sourcebox array.

As long as one was able to find a sourcebox with a danger zone that was similar to what the formula called for, then such a brute force method was possible. However, those methods were difficult to use and took a great deal of time even when they were possible.

This was the method that many Lockbreakers in the Human Domain used in the current age.

At a higher level of mastery, one could employ a method similar to Qiu s.h.i.+’s, as they were able to use their precise star energy control to emulate the process of laying out a sourcebox array.

This stage was extremely difficult to reach, as one’s star energy control had to have reached the Worldliness realm at the bare minimum. Even though the Divine Gaze realm allowed a Lockbreaker to see the world clearly, it was still not enough to accomplish such an achievement.

When the upgraded gemspring water improved Lu Yin’s star energy control in the past, he had reached the Divine Gaze realm, and he had easily reached that realm by himself while studying the s.p.a.ce within the giant eyes. If any other Lockbreaker had been in Lu Yin’s place, then that would have been the limit of their gains from the inheritance as well. However, Lu Yin was able to rely on his Timestop s.p.a.ce to extend his gains from the inheritance until he reached the Worldliness realm. Only after reaching the Worldliness realm could one observe the microscopic world of star energy and view it in the same light as the macroscopic world.

At that time, one would be capable of using their star energy to arrange a sourcebox array.

Without comprehending a sourcebox array, the whole affair seemed to be rather complicated, and not even a five-star Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker could easily comprehend such a thing. However, once one comprehended a sourcebox array, it could simply be recalled as a formula and nothing more.

At this time, Lu Yin intended to rely on the formula of the Teleportation Formation, and he hoped that his star energy control would be enough to emulate the array’s composition.

Comprehending an array was one thing, but actually arranging one was something else entirely, let alone doing so in the midst of a battle. Taking a whole day to set up a sourcebox array could not be considered a success

Lu Yin calmed himself down and silently recalled the plans while occasionally testing his star energy, causing it to transform at times and disappear at others.

…

Just like that, nearly a year pa.s.sed within the Timestop s.p.a.ce. On one day, Lu Yin suddenly opened his eyes and raised a hand. His star energy spread out in all directions. It was imperceptible to the eye, but he could perceive it clearly. To his left, the star energy thrust forward in the shape of a fan, while to his right, the star energy spread out in an attack that arced and fluctuated. In front of him, behind him, and in all eight directions around him, the star energy took on various shapes. And yet, everything synchronized with the shape next to it to form a bizarre attack.

Lu Yin’s eyes lit up, and he lightly tapped out with a finger, causing all of the gathered star energy to explode. The small s.p.a.ce at the center of the star energy field warped for a moment before everything stabilized.

This was the Teleportation Formation. If a person had been standing in the center of the array, then they would have been teleported away. Of course, the distance that they could be moved was limited, as Lu Yin had instantly formed this array. If he had spent more time arranging the array as Qiu s.h.i.+ had done, then Lu Yin would also be capable of moving the Champions’ Stage, along with Bu Kong and other experts, into outer s.p.a.ce.

Lu Yin looked up and let out a deep breath. He had spent nearly a year improving his star energy control to the Worldliness realm. Also, his Cosmic Art was now able to simulate 726 stars, which was the end of the third layer. Finally, he had even comprehended the Teleportation Formation.

This year had not been spent in vain.

He looked at how much time he had remaining, but there was not much left. Thus, he sat down once again and began to silently recite the Stonewall Scriptures as he patiently bided his time.

The Stonewall Scriptures often demonstrated its usefulness at the most critical junctures. Who knew who the old man who had pa.s.sed it onto Lu Yin had originally been, let alone why he had been in the Outerverse? According to that old man, the Stonewall Scriptures that Lu Yin had been given was actually out of order, but despite that, it had miraculous effects, and it had also imperceptibly influenced his spiritual force, improving it to the point where he could maintain his consciousness even when attacked by Nightking Zhenwu. Also, it had resonated with the Nine Cauldrons, allowing Lu Yin to obtain the Nine Cauldrons’ battle technique.

Along with the Stonewall Scriptures, Lu YIn had also been given a series of numbers, and he did not dare to forget them even at this time. He had a premonition that, in the future, the series of numbers would prove to be just as important as the Stonewall Scriptures.

Back then, the old man had told Lu Yin that when he arrived in the Neoverse, he should deliver the Stonewall Scriptures to someone. However, the old man had never said who, and he had eventually removed the curse that he had planted on Lu Yin’s body to ensure delivery.

If not for that encounter, Lu Yin would not have attained nearly as many achievements as he had.

Lu Yin recalled that time of his life as he silently recited the Stonewall Scriptures.

After some time, the scenery changed before his eyes, and he exited the Timestop s.p.a.ce, returning to the s.p.a.ce within the giant eyes.

Once he emerged, Lu Yin absorbed the ambient star energy to replenish his personal reserves.

Some distance away, Xie Xiaoxian, the Ghost Monkey, and Gu Xiao’er were still watching the battle take place outside.

To Lu Yin, nearly a year had pa.s.sed, and he felt as though he had been gone for an entire generation. However, from the others’ point of view, not even a second had pa.s.sed, and it had been no more than a moment for them.
